Live Video Feed for Theatrical Event: Cabling advice needed

[Daniel Horitz]

All working great except the application I’m using AV Mixer Lite, does not recognise the firewire as an audio input so I’m getting no sound from the feed.

Does anyone know of any free (or otherwise) applications which could monitor the sound from the feed in the background?

Thanks again!

I must have missed why you need the audio? The one thing I would say, is that in the production world, you want to keep your audio and video separate as much as possible. That being the case, if it were me, I would take your camera shotgun or whatever audio you are using on it’s own XLR instead of running it down the firewire, you’ll have more control over it that way.

You can hold most any flaky connector together with the proper application of cable-ties and/or gaffer’s tape. Really. Four small cable-ties will hold well enough that the cable will break before the connectors come apart.

Belated thanks guys! This was a great success in the end. Cable ties, tape and a climbing chuck kept it in check.

Audio was a bit of an issue, we couldn’t get a good feed of the sound from the cameras point of view, so used a separate mic to pick up the speech we neeeded.
